Why would u do that anyways. The RX8 taillights are HOT! Remember you are not driving a damn Civic. As far as fenders, i think Crabon creations has carbon fiber fenders. Don't mess up your car with Pep Boys taillights.No there are no taillights that I know of.

Not to hijack this thread, not only do I have a spider in taillight but I have a webb to go along with my dead spider.
The tailights are ok, but I still plan on buying these red out covers when I get a chance. If I don't like I'm out $30 tops.

Oh and why would you want aftermarket tail lights for our car? They look fine as is.. Either blacking them out or maybe a red vinyl is fine. Sure they are busy as hell but thats the appeal of them.

Sorry I live in Monterey, that would be like a 5 hour drive for me. Not that I wouldn't enjoy driving down hwy1, all those twisties and ocean views.

The material is good for 5 years, it is an outdoor grade...so it is durable. I've had it on for over a month now. It still looks like the day I put it on.
The unfortunate part about our tailights, is that they have a lot of contours that makes it very difficult to apply vinyl to. I didn't have enough patience to do it myself, so I asked my fiance to do it. She is very careful, and willing to take the time to make things as good as possible. If you do it yourself, you will have a couple of areas that will be prone to small air bubbles. If you took the material to a window tinting shop, they may have some better techniques to make the install look perfect.
As for pics.....I guess I could put up one. I kinda want to keep the lights under wraps for now....but I will definately put up a thread after SS9.

put some slightly soapy water in a spray bottle and spray the lens before applying the film. then apply the film and use a hair dryer to heat the filmso you will be able to work it around corners. the use a credit card or something flat to work out the soapy water and air bubbles and let it sit and dry under a hot light for a few hours.

Thank you for the picture. I apologize for spoiling your unveiling, but really appreciate it. I'm most certain that this is the method I'm going to go. I love the rear of the 8, but the tail lights are a sore spot for me. I can't wait to see more pics (brakes on) after your official uneiling.

brake lights are same as before...no change. The part that is a bummer with red tint is the pink back up light I have white led's for turn signals, so no problem with the amber and red clashing.

Lol no, its not. Thats like saying the tail lights look like the tail lights off of an RSX...
I looked at the picture, enlarged it to 100% and the first thing that came to mind was, 'damn that looks like the tail lights from an rsx' So i voiced my opinion and said it looks like an RSX rear. The red IS what made me lean towards deciding it looked like RSX tails. If he had tinted them black, or smoked them, i wouldve applauded.
I dont think it means search.. he said 'no_dice aka mugatu'
no_dice [also known as] mugatu? I'm not mugatu. i am no dice. lol
